"Midwest arrived on time and 2 men did the job. It took them about 4 hours to complete the task of removing the old tint, clean the window and area, then apply the new window tint. Of course our windows are larger than normal windows that you see in most houses. Our windows run (73" x 73"), they are considered custom windows, because they run so large. However Midwest did a superior job installing our window tint. They didn't leave any seams in the middle of our window tint. Which is great. Our tint carries a warranty, which we are very happy with. The men who did the installation, applied the window tint to 6 windows and they cleaned up all of they mess. They didn't leave any dirt behind for us to deal with and I was very happy to see that happen. Normally, when someone installs something in your home, any mess they make, they expect the homeowner to clean it up, but that isn't the case with Midwest. Their installers clean up after themselves. Personally, I appreciate it. We will use Midwest in the future and refer them to friends & family. We love the look of the windows with the new tint on them. They really make a big difference when the sun is shinning on them. They really cut down on the amount of UV rays and the extra heat which does not pass through amymore. The window tint helps with our cooling (air conditioning) bills. We know Midwest saved us money and gave us a great price on our new window tint. They did a terrific job and we are very happy with the windows. The installation was easy and we didn't have any problems.

"We obtained three bids for our project.  Quality was the one we chose.  The price was competitive and we liked the professional way Robert handled our concerns regarding the details of matching the tint when he came out to give us a quote.  Joe & Luke were on-time when they came to put the tinting on the windows.  They were professional and caring about our home.  The tint is a perfect match and you would never know it went on some 5 years after the other window.  The whole experience was great and we would highly recommend Quality Glass Tinting.

"It went great! I had my son’s car windows tinted and he already had film on 2 windows but we wanted it to match. They replaced those films and tinted all windows. Acura’s have rounded windows that are hard to work with. He had the car a couple extra hours to get it perfect. He was very polite and took his time to do the job correctly. He gave great advice for cleaning products to stay away from. Lifetime warranty and did not charge extra for the extra time involved. Windows look great!!"

"Was able to get an appointment at my convenience, salesman Jeremy was both knowledgeable and personable. Jeremy helped me get the best equipment for my concerns, and together we determined what pieces could wait until I could afford to add more. I was offered a lifetime servicing plan for the equipment at no cost to me or for replacement. The keypad is an awesome piece of equipment (which Larry installed and did an outstanding job with!) and once it was up, I was sort of sad that I didn't just leave it as a "desk top" option that Larry had mentioned so I could move it around the house with me. In hind sight if I had known more about the benefits of leaving it as a desk top option, I probably would have opted for it. But initially I thought it was a "short cut" to install, which it would not have been. By far the coolest thing about 1st Security's service is the fact that they use alarm.com, from which I can arm and disarm my system from my cell phone. No juggling at the door, sprinting to the keypad, etc. I also have a peace of mind that I have never really had with Front Point, Guardian or other security services since I can actually see my alarm activity online and on the app. The system also allows up to 239 individual passwords that you can assign to family members or others you hire to do work at your home. My only disappointment is with signage for the house. I want 2 security signs for my home (relatively higher crime area) but was given one and told he'd get the other one to me only after I offered to pay for it (which honestly, I should not have to do - the more signs in my yard, the better advertisement for your company). Also they "were out of" window clings/stickers, something I want immediately upon install. Larry said they were on order and he would get the stickers and extra sign to me as soon as they were in. I'll update you on that when I get them."

"My home is currently under construction and has been going on a whole lot longer than it should have because of the contractor hired to do the job. Chris with Modern Marvels was recommended to me by a friend so i gave him a call to paint the exterior of my home. Him and his guys showed up quickly, were very clean and his pricing was definitely more affordable than i expected. i asked him to then drywall my home and paint it as well, it took him 2 weeks to get done more than the current contractor has in 6 months. im actually going to continue using Chris and his guys for most all other jobs i have left."

Window Tinting questions, answered by experts

You can easily and cheaply use tin foil or cardboard to black out your windows. Save a pretty penny by cutting either material to the size of your windows and taping it to the window. This is one of the easiest and most budget-friendly blackout solutions, but it definitely isn’t the most aesthetically friendly.  

The lifespan of window tinting depends on several factors, but a high-quality, professionally applied tint can last anywhere from 5 to 25 years, with premium tints lasting at least 15 to 20 years. Key factors influencing longevity include the quality of the film, the professionalism of the installation, and the type of window. Some companies offer lifetime warranties, while others may only provide a one-year warranty or none at all, so it's wise to verify this with your service provider. To prolong the film's life, clean it gently with a microfiber towel and mild cleaning solutions. Avoid harsh, abrasive, alcohol-based, or ammonia-based cleaners, as well as sharp tools or scrubbers, which can damage the surface.

A lace curtain may block some of the biggest insects from entering while still allowing a breeze to get through. If your concern is privacy, then curtains and blinds will provide better privacy than window screens; for UV protection, you can choose specialty windows or UV-blocking film. And if you just want an inexpensive, temporary solution, there are adhesive or magnetic screen panels you can install for an hour, a day, or a season.

The most popular way to remove home window tint is by using a hairdryer. Most people already have one in their home, but if you don’t, you can buy one for as little as $15. All you need to do is turn the hairdryer to its hottest and highest setting and run it over the window tint for a few minutes. Then, you can easily peel it away. You may need some goo remover for any leftover adhesive, but this DIY could be free for many people.    

While it is possible to install home window tint yourself, it is a challenging task that is often best left to professionals. The process can be tedious and time-consuming, requiring steady hands and a great deal of patience, especially for a first-time installer.

Common mistakes in DIY applications include visible bubbles, imperfections, and film that either hangs over the edges or doesn't fully cover the glass. These errors not only look unprofessional and detract from your home's curb appeal but can also reduce the tint's effectiveness in blocking sunlight and heat. If you have struggled with applying protective films to smaller items like phones or tablets, you may find this task particularly difficult.

Attempting the installation yourself and making a mistake can lead to wasted material and the additional cost of hiring a professional to fix the issues or redo the job. Although hiring a professional involves labor costs, it typically guarantees a high-quality, seamless appearance and saves you from having to do the work over again.
